Chapter 8: Killing

After Hano, who was in a frenzied state, calmed down, he realized that he had made a mistake. A place like a casino is always only in and out, and now that he has broken the rules, he will naturally be punished. If Hano was a man of face in the town, the casino might not really care about him, but he was just a down-and-out family, with no property at all except for a worthless house and a few plots of land.

has no background and no strength, but dares to find bad luck in the casino, this is simply the way to die.

Hano looked at the ninety silver coins on the table and gritted his teeth and hesitated, not knowing whether to take it or not. He was really scared now, and he remembered something he usually forgot. For example, a guy who cheated in a casino hasn't been seen since he was caught. The family went to the sheriff, but there was no one alive or dead, and the sheriff had nothing to do. In the end, the casino gave two gold coins as compensation, and the matter was settled.

Another example is a few beggars on the edge of the entrance to the town, one of whom once made trouble in the casino, was broken limbs, broke his tendons, and threw his hamstrings and tendons. Disabled and given nothing but a bite to eat at home, he had to run to the intersection to beg for some change every day, in case he died one day and no one would collect the body.

In this town, although the casino is inconspicuous, it is also a force, and it is the uncrowned king of the underground world. Hano is a local, and he knows too much about this, but he just messes around here all day on weekdays, and he doesn't react for a while, so he forgets about it.

He really doesn't dare to take this money now, maybe he will be unlucky because of this money.

In fact, everyone thinks that Hano must have cheated, a person who has almost never won from his teens to his thirties, has suddenly become a gambling god, how wrong is this matter. It's just that the attitude is different from that of the casino, and everyone else wants to know how he cheats and hopes that they can learn this trick themselves. Even if it can't be used in Greentown, isn't there any other place?

The bald man let out a breath in his nose and snorted, "What? Afraid that we will trouble you? I'll say a word here today, as long as everyone comes to play, clean, don't cheat, cheat out thousands, you have the ability to win the whole casino away, I won't say a word." But as long as someone breaks the rules, that's another matter. He turned to look at Hano, "Take your money and come back next time." ”

Hano timidly moved to the edge of the table, reached for the silver coin, gritted his teeth and turned around and ran outside. As he ran, he shoved the silver coin into his arms, his heart pounding violently, and his mouth was dry and desperate to drink water to moisten his lips and throat. There is wind under my feet, and I can't wait for my parents to give birth to a few more legs.

The bald man watched Hano go away, without the slightest desire to stop him. He snorted, "You guys keep playing." With that, he opened the curtain at the back of the casino and went into the backstage.

The servant came up with a glass of wine, and the bald man took a sip. Liquor is a drink made by fermenting local grains with some fruits and sugar, and it is not entirely true to say that it is wine. Because there is no standard process and quantification, the taste is a little different every time. The price of this kind of alcohol and drink is not high, and it is a very common thing, and almost every family will buy some.

"Do you see anything?", the bald man asked an old man beside him in a slower tone with a shiny head, who had been watching from the crowd just now. He is a master of gambling, and he has been working in casinos in big cities before, because he is old and can't stand the noise and many things there, so he comes to work in Green Town, which can be regarded as a pension.

The old man frowned tightly, pondered for a moment and shook his head, "I didn't see any traces of my hands, it's not that I look down on the people here, they only know blind gambling, and they don't know anything about gambling." ”

The bald man was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "According to what you say, that kid is really lucky?"

"How is that possible?", the old man's voice was raised a little, they had noticed Hano's abnormality since last night. The town of Green is not large, with a total of only 35,000 households, and with the foreign population and nearby farms, it is only about 30,000 people per day. Almost every gambler who comes here, they can know it, and even more villa casino lights Hano.

Yesterday, Hano swept Liuhe, almost winning in just one hour in the evening, which has attracted the attention of the casino. It's just that he won relatively little, so he didn't stop him immediately at that time, but thought of a way to catch him out of a thousand. If it can be used by the casino, it is the best.

The old man shook his head and said, "My intuition tells me that there must be something wrong with Hano, but I don't know what the problem is, and I don't know what the problem is, so this matter will trouble you." ”

The bald man took a sip of wine and immediately stood up. The huge body blocked the light, giving people a strong sense of oppression, and he glanced back at the old man, "Don't worry, I will definitely do it." ”

The first thing Hano did when he returned home with the money was to dig a pit and bury all the silver coins. But he was halfway buried, but he hesitated. The townspeople knew to bury their money in the ground to prevent thieves and thieves from plundering, but it was no secret that everyone knew the trick. Most of the people here have been dealing with the land all their lives, and you can see at a glance where the soil is new and where the soil has not been moved.

His wife tapped on the door, "Hano, what are you doing hiding inside? Come out and eat, I burned your favorite meat." ”

Hano hesitated, then put the coin in his bosom again, filled the hole, clapped his hands and opened the door.

Seeing the slag on the ground that had not yet had time to be cleaned, the woman was curious, but did not ask. Hano looked at her and took out twenty silver coins from his arms, "Tomorrow you go back to your mother's house to play for a while, and I will come back with you when I go to pick you up, and don't come back alone until you see me." ”

The woman became nervous all of a sudden, don't look at the fact that the two of them can usually quarrel over a few coppers, if money is not involved, the relationship between the two people is actually quite good. Poor couples mourn everything, and quarreling over money can only be regarded as a trivial matter in daily life.

She opened her mouth, and a thousand words turned into a sigh.

The two had a hasty meal, and Hano sent his wife away overnight. He packed up a few clothes and planned to hide in the farm outside the town. He gave his own land to his wife to take care of, and there was not much land, so he could be busy alone. When the farm is busy, he will go to the farm outside the town to do day jobs and help with farm work. Everyone is familiar with it.

In this era, law and self-discipline exist only within the urban circle. Leaving the city, the outside world is lawless.

The farms outside the town are busy with the farmers, and when they are busy, they are the proper croppers, and once they have nothing to do, they may become bandits with their faces covered. No matter how strong the casino is, I don't dare to go to the farm, it is a place where people kill people and don't see blood, and everyone who dies is like nothing.

He packed up his things and looked closely, and found that there was an iron cross in his arms, which looked very ugly. This kind of thing can also be sold for money, Hano sneered disdainfully, no wonder the church is getting weaker and weaker. He was about to throw it away, but somehow he made a move and took the cross into his arms again.

It's good to say that it was also bought back with copper, how can you just lose it casually?

After packing up everything, he sat down in his chair and sighed that he was dizzy, and he still wanted to win more money, didn't this force the casino to attack him? When this was over, he decided to go to live elsewhere, find a place where no one knew him, and win a few silver coins every once in a while, and his life was quite chic.

He drank a jug of water, patted his buttocks, and was just about to leave when he heard a soft creak at the courtyard door.

Is that stupid woman back?

He saw an iron tower-like figure outside the door through the crack in the door, and the whole person shivered, and a cool breeze blew down his spine from the groove of his ass to the top of his head, causing goosebumps.

Broken!

At this time, he still cared about the things he had packed, walked to the back of the room in a few steps, pushed open the window, jumped out, and ran out without looking back.

The bald man kicked open the door, looked at the things he had packed up but couldn't see anyone, and immediately walked to the edge of the table and touched the stool, his face turned pale, "Chase, just left." ”
